For me, breeding is best left to the true experts and those who breed for the betterment of yorkies. Do you have breeding experience, btw? If not, you have a ton of learning ahead of you and I'd most def see if there is a mentor who can get you through the birth. |
The largest litter I ever had to deliver with momma, was 6 babies....about baby 4 -5, momma was wearing out. My dogs are all in 100% tip top condition, best diets, monitored continously way before they are ever bred, I am very experienced with this for many years, etc, so this was not something I was unprepared for........she required vet intervention with Oxytocin and Ca. You have to know when you need help, be sure you do, or you are not in a good place...I hope this is not a new adventure for you, because if you are a novice, this can be disasterous....please get you professional help lined up so you dont loose the entire shooting match.
This is a very heavy load for a yorkie.....good luck, be overly prepared....
